This book is the fifth issue of "The Supreme RITZ," a fashion and culture magazine first published in 1990. Launched in 1993 by legendary editor-in-chief Fumihiro Hayashi, the now highly sought-after culture magazine "Dune" is also highly sought-after among collectors. Ellen Fleiss, one of the founders of "Purple," which was also popular overseas and in Japan at the same time, and who also had a strong connection with Sofia Coppola, who has established a solid reputation as a film director in recent years, used her network of fashion, art, and subculture connections to bring a stellar array of artists to the magazine. This is a predecessor to the magazine, and although the art director changed with each issue, Hayashi participated in each issue as visual (photo) director and also had a chapter he was responsible for composing himself (incidentally, Hayashi's partner, Kimiko Hayashi, who took over Dune after Hayashi's death, also participated as an editor). This issue welcomes Fujimoto Yasushi as art director, with Hayashi in charge of a feature on Cecil Beaton, a fashion photographer active before and after the war, and also includes features on Jean Cocteau, Andrei Tarkovsky, Paul Smith, and others.
